I look forward to working with her every day. Like a lot of the other reviews mention; I don't even feel like I've been there an hour; it goes by so fast! But the workouts are intense and are set up in a way that I always feel motivated to push myself. (More than I ever have before) I am happy to report that I am signing up for a year membership; as well as their 6 week body transformation that starts in a couple of weeks. (Nutrition based). If you haven't found a gym or program that works for you, I urge you to try TF for a month!

Everyone likes their fitness classes/gyms for different reasons, but for me, Jeremy fulfilled every…read moreaspect of what I seek in classes: - great morning hour options - time flies: he runs his classes out of the St. Louis Gymnastics Center, so he moves you around the room utilizing tons of equipment/"toys" (e.g. trampolines), using the Tabata method (20 seconds intense repetition of one exercise, 10 seconds break) - personal training: if you have questions about proper technique, diet/nutrition, etc, Jeremy can answer your questions (and I highly recommend you ask because you wouldn't want to injure yourself) - good company: the others who attend these sessions are incredibly kind and talkative, and you move around the gym with the same group for the entire session Jeremy really cares that you get a good workout specific to your abilities and needs. On top of which, he's dependable and stays in touch with you if you have any questions outside of class.

I have been an avid gym-goer for the past 6-7 years (e.g. 24 Hr Fitness, LA Fitness, UFC Gym,…read morebootcamp boutique gyms, boxing and kickboxing gyms, Golds Gym). F45 though is something else! It is HIIT, some days are cardio focused, some are resistance focused, and some will just torch your entire body. To me F45 is efficient, effective, and encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle. Efficient: Weekday classes are 45 minutes. No time wasted. I love it especially because it holds me accountable to the active and rest times. I still go to Gold's however balancing my fitness with F45 has been life changing for me. When I am at Gold's, I obviously control my own rest times so technically I could be resting too long. At F45, you are going as soon as the screen goes green. Effective: 45 minutes of intense and I mean intense movements. If you are starting out in fitness, do not worry, you can always modify any exercise. The trainers of course will help you with that. For those who have been working out for a while, this will still kick your bum, trust me! Encourages: People make the difference. You will hear others say great job! or gives someone a high five once class is over. The trainers at this location are super fun and motivating. The layout is the same as any F45. It is clean and tidy. They have wipes so you know that the equipment is sanitary. Bathrooms are very clean. They have showers, I have not used them however they are in tip top shape. There are lockers for your belongings. There is a fountain where you can fill your bottle without the mouthpiece of the bottle touching anything; it's automatic. Some places do not have this type of fountain. The layout of the classes are great, I am never shoulder to shoulder with anyone because who wants to be when you are glistening in sweat?! I love this F45 studio in Des Peres, MO and hope you have a chance to check this gym out!

This creates a collaborative and fun atmosphere which is always welcoming to new members and also pushes individuals to challenge themselves within a nurturing environment and helps each person achieve their health and fitness goals and see results beyond their expectations. The trainers are well-informed and place a strong emphasis on proper form and safety which leads to sustainable development. They do an exceptional job of pinpointing each athlete's fitness level whether complete novice or world class athlete or anywhere in between and help them get to the next level. There are countless examples and I have watched with enjoyment as time and time again people make complete transformations in their health and fitness with the help of CrossFit Kirkwood. The rates are high, but worth every penny and then some because the results are real and the community is without compare. Full disclosure: I am an active member of CrossFit Kirkwood, but have no stake in the ownership nor do I work for the gym in any capacity

I'm one of the few people in Missouri privileged with the opportunity to try the elite ARX machine…read moreat Biofit, and it left me truly amazed that I have had the honor of experiencing something that's going to change history and how people experience finding and building their own strength. This is a long review but every bit of it is necessary because this needs to be known, shared, and experienced!!! This exercise equipment has created a new neural pathway for me and how I now view exercise, my time spent at the gym and my ability to reach peak levels endurance. As a fitness enthusiast who's tried everything from P90X to Peloton, nothing compares to this experience. I love lifting free weights and unlike most people I don't count my reps per se I count my length of time doing each rep, which is the TUT method (time under tension). Most workout fanatics may use this method because it's so beneficial. Time under tension is the duration a muscle is under strain during exercise. It focuses on the time spent in each movement to enhance muscle growth and endurance. For me, this is the best and fastest way to tone up, get great blood flow to muscles (pump), and see results. What I now know is ARX eclipses the TUT method and any other machine out there. Now the tut method is great but even though you're holding that tension there's nothing but gravity working against you and your own strength which is great but be honest how hard to you really push yourself at the gym? With this state-of-the-art equipment, the machine is working against you via resistance BUT is also working for you. It's as if it's working every muscle everywhere all at once!! It somehow knows what limit to push your body to so you get the perfect amount of resistance, which in turn gives you the metrics of your own strength. Something lifting has never gauged for me better yet has never resisted against me to enhance my strength. ARX is so mind-boggling that talking about it doesn't do it justice--you must experience it in person! No matter what your strength level is, this machine will match you and make you work smarter, not harder, plus you can get a full-body workout in 10-15 minutes. My first time was less than 5 minutes on one machine and it was a leg press. I was in my casual everyday clothes. I wasn't wearing tennis shoes I was wearing heels jeans and a leather jacket! Why? I went in for a quick demo thinking it would be demonstrated for me by the owner. Nope watching would not have done me any good because you don't know the might of this machine until you experience it. So it bears repeating I was in high heels, and I was still able to accomplish a magnificent burn, experience a life transforming piece of equipment and more importantly I didn't have to take my shoes off and I didn't break a heel! Now, my second time was less than 10 minutes and was a full-body workout. This time I had on gym attire and tennis shoes were a must because after the experience the week before I wanted to see what I could really accomplish without worrying about snapping a heel off. At the end of my short session, I felt as if I had been working out for 45 minutes. I only used three machines and didn't lift a single weight!! My muscles were so taxed I couldn't complete my usual HIIT routine on the self powered treadmill, and in all honesty, that routine may become a thing of the past, along with my typical gym membership. These slick pieces of machinery will end up making typical gym equipment obsolete simply due to the science and metrics behind it. Plus, it's designed to give you one of the most efficient methods of working out, which is time under tension. The ARX is literally based on Time Under Tension (TUT) plus it tracks your strength metrics, tailors resistance to your personal limits, takes less than 10 minutes, and you can get results by using it once or twice a week!! I value my time very much, and being able to cut down my commute to and from the gym, the time in between sets, and the time to perform my workout is a win-win for me. It was an unparalleled workout experience. It's hands down the most amazing workout I've ever had! Talking about this is not the same as experiencing it. You MUST experience it then see how you feel the day after. I promise you'll want to go back and try beating your own scores again!

The owner truly goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and before I was even a member she offered me multiple VIP cards to come in and make sure I liked the facility before I actually signed up. The owner went out of her way to call me and check on me and ask me questions to get to know me better as well as see what I did or did not like, and asked if I had any questions. I work in healthcare and I really thought it was even more sweet that the owner was accommodating to my schedule and trying to help me out with being on a budget offering me ways that would work with my budget while still being able to take care of myself and do a little bit of self-care. There are a lot of these locations but I would drive out of my way to come to this one because of how welcoming and personable the owner as well as all the staff that she hires are. I do know she owns a second location in rock Hill and I can only imagine that the team is just as amazing
